Okay, I live in Vancouver, Canada and besides from hosting the Olympics, we also have the distinction of having the most unaffordable housing prices in Canada. Just how unaffordable?

Go here, and try out this game, Crack Shack or Mansion

And yes, all those prices are -real-. I'm not sure whether to laugh, or sick up. :S All I know, is that I'll never be able to afford one of those houses. The worst news is that, prices are still rising. In the past three months, prices have risen 29%. It's almost like the recession didn't even happen.

Oh, and the US dollar and the Canadian dollar are almost at par. Makes these prices even more hideous.

....

Gosh.

Your real estate bubble hasn't popped yet?  Wiiiiierd.  Don't worry.  Hide a few crumpled 20's in a sock and once the bust happens, you'll be able to buy several of those houses.

[Croquantes]

No. The bubble hasn't popped, and real estate prices are rising across Canada. I don't think anyone expects a "correction" to happen any time soon... The OECD is forecasting Canada’s gross domestic product to have risen 6.2% in the first three months of this year.

I should buy a house in the arctic.

Your dog can be a co-signer in Canada?

Like, do you sign for him or do you do the corny ink'd paw print?

Hehehe, I heard about this on the radio. They were saying it has "gone viral" and all was all "it's not viral if I haven't heard of it!" And here it is.

Yeah, it's just stupid-expensive to live in Vancouver. Another good reason for living on ze island.
